SUMMER FRUIT TROPICAL POPSICLES RECIPE
I love transforming overripe fruit into fresh popsicles for summer. It’s so simple and is a great way to have a healthy treat ready to go on those hot summer days. This combination is bursting with tropical flavors featuring strawberries, mango and pineapple. Add a little agave to sweeten or even some dollaps of yogurt to make them creamy. Make a few batches and personalize the popsicles using Happy Planner stickers so your guests feel even more special when you entertain. Another tip is to set aside some of the fruit before blending so a few pieces can peek-a-book through the pop!
Serves 8
Ingredients
2 cups fresh or frozen strawberries
2 cups pineapple in chunks
2 cups fresh or frozen mango
Agave or honey to sweeten, optional
Directions
- Using Happy Planner Good Vibes - Value Pack Stickers, decorate popsicle bags.
- Into a blender add strawberries and blend until smooth. Pour mixture into glass and set aside. Rinse blender. Add pineapple and mango and blend until smooth.
- Pour fruit mixture equally into bags and freeze 8 hours or overnight.
- Enjoy!
We’re excited just thinking about all the things we have planned for the next few months! Make sure to share your summer bucket list with us and tag us on instagram @the_happy_planner when you make your own DIY Summer Fruit Tropical Popsicles!
